Please stop by and say hi and thanks for hosting this February IWSG First Wednesday.

Also Tick Tock, A Stitch In Time is posting today for it’s first, First Wednesday. I’m introducing my short story, Heartless. Come say hello to us, too.

And now, I want you to meet a lady who’s got my admiration. I had the privilege of meeting Flossie Lewis. She’s a friend’s teacher, and we shared an afternoon together a few years ago. This is Flossie, and this is why whining is just not an option.

What a wonderful interview and a wonderful lady! She has the attitude I want to cultivate for myself now and myself in 40 more years! Thanks for posting this 😀 It truly made my day and gave me a good kick in the pants!

I HAD to share Flossie. Thank you for sharing her with us here. Wow. So very true. and yet so easy to forget. While walking yesterday I thought about what kind of person I am, and what kind of person I’d like to be. Flossie was what I needed to hear.

Spectacular says it all. What a wise woman. Attitude makes a difference. I have 2 amazing women over 90 in my Bible study group. Still active and wise too. I want to be just like Flossie when I grow up.!!!JQ Rose

I loved Flossie’s brief but spectacular take on growing old! My grandmother MacDonald always told me that inside she was always seventeen. You have to embrace life each and every day. This isn’t always easy, but life is always a gift! Have a good one, Lee!

Yeah… My grandfather is turning 100 in April, and I’ll tell you exactly how that guy stayed young: by not letting anyone tell him no. When people were taking the elevator, he took the stairs. When people started worrying about broken bones, he was still out water skiing ever season. I think being young is very much in the mind, and if we refuse to be old, we have the key to the fountain of youth.

Flossie is precious. Her attitude is wonderful. Something to remember in our “golden” years. There are three ladies in my Sunday School class that are in their 90s. They’re all very active. Thanks for this great post.

No whining. Ever? But, MOMMM!!!! Okay, I’ll try to behave. I think that’s all I’ve done since January. Whine and complain inwardly. Outwardly, I’m full of love and fun and pranks. Ugh. Welcome to the writer’s life.

I love Flossie. What a great attitude! She reminds us to be kind to others and spread happiness. Our words have the power to make others feel better. So true! I am in my 40s- but often feel like a teenager, or a twenty-something- depending on the day. 🙂

So awesome that you got to meet Flossie. She is such an inspiration because she tells it like it is–the good and the bad of getting old and finding a point in it all. It’s harder to do as we lose our loved ones and see our bodies start falling apart. I love that she’s still open to meeting someone at 91. Why not? Thanks for the inspiration.
